In this work we study the reliability and secrecy performance achievable by practical LDPC codes over the Gaussian wiretap channel. While several works have already addressed this problem in asymptotic conditions, i.e., under the hypothesis…
A property of prefix codes called strong monotonicity is introduced, and it is proven that for a given source, a prefix code is optimal if and only if it is complete and strongly monotone.
We construct a new family of explicit codes that are list decodable to capacity and achieve an optimal list size of $O(\frac{1}{\epsilon})$. In contrast to existing explicit constructions of codes achieving list decoding capacity, our…
We investigate the extremal values of partial traces of matrix tensors under operator norm constraints. To evaluate these multi-linear quantities, we develop a comprehensive graphical formalism that encodes multi-leg partial traces, partial…
We enumerate the connected graphs that contain a number of edges growing linearly with respect to the number of vertices. So far, only the first term of the asymptotics and a bound on the error were known. Using analytic combinatorics, ie…
The paper has a threefold purpose. The first purpose is to present an explicit description of expanded cyclic codes defined in $\GF(q^m)$. The proposed explicit construction of expanded generator matrix and expanded parity check matrix…
Using methods from Analytic Combinatorics, we study the families of perfect matchings, partitions, chord diagrams, and hyperchord diagrams on a disk with a prescribed number of crossings. For each family, we express the generating function…
We consider $q$-ary (linear and nonlinear) block codes with exactly two distances: $d$ and $d+\delta$. Several combinatorial constructions of optimal such codes are given. In the linear (but not necessary projective) case, we prove that…
We study asymptotic lower and upper bounds for the sizes of constant dimension codes with respect to the subspace or injection distance, which is used in random linear network coding. In this context we review known upper bounds and show…
In this paper, we establish maximal concentration bounds for the iterates generated by a stochastic approximation (SA) algorithm under a contractive operator with respect to some arbitrary norm (for example, the $\ell_\infty$-norm). We…
We give a new construction of algebraic codes which are efficiently list decodable from a fraction $1-R-\eps$ of adversarial errors where $R$ is the rate of the code, for any desired positive constant $\eps$. The worst-case list size output…
We present a construction of 1-perfect binary codes, which gives a new lower bound on the number of such codes. We conjecture that this lower bound is asymptotically tight.
It has been shown that good structured codes over non-Abelian groups do exist. Specifically, we construct codes over the smallest non-Abelian group $\mathds{D}_6$ and show that the performance of these codes is superior to the performance…
Despite extensive research on distance oracles, there are still large gaps between the best constructions for spanners and distance oracles. Notably, there exist sparse spanners with a multiplicative stretch of $1+\varepsilon$ plus some…
We consider locally repairable codes over small fields and propose constructions of optimal cyclic and linear codes in terms of the dimension for a given distance and length. Four new constructions of optimal linear codes over small fields…
In this paper, several infinite families of codes over the extension of non-unital non-commutative rings are constructed utilizing general simplicial complexes. Thanks to the special structure of the defining sets, the principal parameters…
In this paper we provide new compact integral expressions and associated simple asymptotic approximations for converse and achievability bounds in the finite blocklength regime. The chosen converse and random coding union bounds were taken…
We introduce a weak asymptotic version of nonlinear contraction, termed \emph{asymptotic pointwise contraction}. For a mapping on a metric space, this notion requires the existence of a sequence of functions that dominate the distances…

Cyclic codes, as a crucial subclass of linear codes, exhibit broad applications in communication systems, data storage systems, and consumer electronics, primarily attributed to their well-structured algebraic properties. Let $p$ denote an…
